How to do an Integration Build submission

The following describes how to do an integration build submission. The steps for doing a maintenance submission are mostly the same except for how you set up the workspace in the first place. Perhaps someone could detail that.

Prep

It is best to keep an install/workspace around solely for the purpose of build submission. Take the latest milestone.

There will be a tree with three top level items all checked. Deselect the first two, leaving "ui.map" and its children selected. Click Next>.

The next step takes some time while cvs info is checked.

The next page will be "Changed Projects". Check the "Generate Build Notes" option at the bottom. Click Next>

The system will be busy for a minute or two.

You will see the "Notes for Build Changes" page. Select all the text and paste into your mailer. Later, use this text to send an email to platform-ui-dev@eclipse.org notifying of build submission.

Check the "Update the Build Notes File" checkbox at the top, and fill in the build notes file field as "/org.eclipse.ui/buildnotes_workbench.html". Click Next>.

Type in the build tag, which is I or M (for integration or maintenance) followed by the build date-time (not the current date/time, the one at which the build will be run). So for example, I20071127-0800. Copy the text you typed in as you'll need it next. Leave the other options as is. Click Next>.

Enter the commit comment for the changed configuration file. Type "Submission for X-Y" where X-Y is the build date-time you entered for the tagging and copied.
